🇬🇧 German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle beautifully preserved in the blue clay at the bottom of the dugout. Looks like the soldiers put it against the wall and just forgot it there. The Mauser G98 is a direct ancestor of the most famous German WWII rifle - Kar98k. Mechanically they are absolutely identical, except for the difference in length the rifle also has a less ergonomic straight bolt handle. In the Wehrmacht, Gewehr 98 continued to be limitedly used due to issues of logistics and organization
